My favorite of the new heroes, an amazing int semi-carry/ganker. Good range and animation, soloes incredibly well- if farmed and ganks well, carries late.

Disruption functions a lot like Astral, but making 2 images is useful for increased dps. Can use to dodge spells/make self images to damage. A solid pseudo-disable, sets up for harder to aim spells.

Soul Catcher can be amazing- but situational. Low cast range but huge AoE, it chooses random unit within the AoE to have damage amplified. Works wonders if enemy is alone, in lane it may target a creep.

Shadow Poison the bread-and-butter skill. A stackable, AoE, ground-targetable shockwave esque damage over time skill. Aims like Venomous Gale but with at least 2/3x the range. 3 second cooldown, and if you can't wait for DoT to take effect, subskill enables you to cause damage to occur instantly in nuke-form. Deals massive damage with stacks.

Purge is the setup. Stuns, slows, then deals a large chunk of damage. The combo is clear, Disrupt for illusions, soul catch upon appearance, Purge and they can't escape- use Shadow Poison constantly, with it's low cooldown stacking is easy.

This is hero is amazing.

Thoughts on forcestaff on this hero?

I mean how much damage does the illusions deal again? i forgot already..

great counter to AM by burning his mana

This guy is so imba. If your allies have a way of clearing creeps, the soul catcher thing will land, and it's over from there. The images are also way too strong. They should just be like regular images, imo.

IIRC, 60% at max level, pretty imba imo, if that was his last skill, I could deal with that. His Last skill too is effing imba. Debuff? bye bye sven/brood.

Items in this hero? I played him and owned but I don't have a set items, I've tried Bloodstone and Linken.

With his skillset he clearly has the power to semi-carry at least late game, Linken's and Bloodstone is serious overkill, Orchids/Linken's seems appropriate, then perhaps some dps.

What I mean is, I've tried using Linken AND Bloodstone, on seperate games. They seem to both work equally. But I'll try your orchids/linkens combo.

[force staff]

yes get force staff for him

[Beat Up~!]

My favorite of all the new heroes imo, very versatile, can also carry if needed. Only problem is he has very, VERY low hp, so survivability items are a must. Although I got Lothar's + Desolator on him for the lulz. 50% amplify = pain.

Ranged Illusions don't burn mana. I don't think his Illusions are too imba, if he uses it on himself he gets a 120% dps boost, but it's only for 6 seconds- and the image's power varies depending on the enemy. I do like how the images automatically attack the targeted hero upon creation- quite useful and reduces micro, helps maximize their short duration.

Antimage's illusions burn mana.

Ah I see now, had to think about that for a second- thanks for the clarification.

Don't overrate his carry abilities. 6 seconds is indeed too short a duration for images.

True. Tried him in a game once, using disruption for your team's carry or the other team's carry does increase DPS but it's just too short.

He can harass well in a lane, though same goes for him with him being somewhat a softie.

He's a good ganker, be it with a nuker or a carry hero. Purge is just great.

Disruption's great too when trying to escape or trying to catch up with a hero.

Any items you can recommend on him?

[Ruedenor]

DPS build might be the way to go since he's not that mana dependent..
